There was a rumpus in the Pack,
Whereof the King and Queen and Jack
Were playing knavish parts.
On Club and Spade was put the blame;
But these asserted 'twas a game
Of Diamonds and Hearts.

I had bunch of chores to do on Monday -- laundry, bathroom, cats -- but the weather was great, so I got to take a walk and eat an early dinner before neighborhood mahjong, which my group told me I won but then I was told they didn't even know the rules about when you can use jokers -- and they play at the JCC, so I'm starting to think the rules are just arbitrarily made up by whatever group you play with. Not sure I love the game but at least I'm getting to know some of the neighbors!
We're watching The Housemaid, which I was told by a couple of people isn't the movie it was advertised as, and in fact the movie is to some extent a commentary on what people expect when presented with a good looking, sweet male lead and a couple of women who are clearly troubled -- in the movies and in life -- so I enjoyed it despite the violence. Here are some of the Gnomevember artist gnomes at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, including Van Gogh, Lichtenstein, Kahlo, O'Keeffe, Monet, Kusama, and Ross:
